Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume draws together some of the pioneer figures in the social science arena who have been working at the margins of demography and other social sciences. These articles show the willingness of the new demography to venture into a variety of other disciplines to better appreciate its own special contributions to the world of interdisciplinary research.
